WATCH: When Michael Phelps made one of the longest putts in television history

If you’re curious why so many of these entrees are from amateurs it’s probably down to the rarity of professionals leaving themselves these sort of putts. Not to mention they tend to put TOUR players on postage stamp greens rather than mahosive putting surfaces. Still, the European Tour recently challenged a few well-known professionals to a 200-yard putting challenge.

4. Everyone remembers this Putt from Jack Nicklaus in a 2010 charity round.

3. How about this effort from one of the most successful Olympians in history?

2. David Pelz claims this 200-footer. But we find everything about him so underwhelming.

1. Define “longest”, this effort from Sam Torrance is the winner depending on your interpretation.
